2014 Gabriela Mistral Foundation Humanitarian Award
Wednesday, April 16, 2014
New York Athletic Club, Central Park South, New York, NY
The Gabriela Mistral Foundation has the pleasure of announcing the 2014 Humanitarian
Award Dinner which will be held on Wednesday, April 16, 2014 at the New York Athletic Club in
New York City. This years’s honoree, Ms. Isabel Allende, author of over twenty books that have
been translated into more than thirty languages and sold over sixty million copies., is being
recognized for her great humanitarian work on behalf of the women of Chile and the world as
founder of the Isabel Allende Foundation.
Following the death of her daughter Paula, and in her honor the Isabel Allende Foundation was
founded in 1996, dedicated to the protection and empowerment of women and children
worldwide. Paula was only twenty-eight years old when she died, a graceful and spiritual young
woman, the light of her family who cared deeply for others. When in doubt her motto was: What
is the most generous thing to do? The foundation, based on her ideals of service and
compassion, was created to continue her work. Ms. Allende remarks: “My foundation is guided
by a vision of a world in which women have achieved social and economic justice. It is only a
drop of water in the vast desert of human need.”
The Gabriela Mistral Foundation will also recognize International Surgical Medical Support for
their humanitarian work on behalf of people with medical needs.
